It's true Rami. When leaders are committed, better results are achieved; and work-life balance is vital for the well-being of all employees.
Employee Resources Group's (ERG's) help a lot, however as mentioned by Rami, the key is the leadership commitment... doesn't matter how many ERG's and motivated people you have if the Leadership teams aren't engaged or commited. Saving Changes...

A strong organizational culture is the foundation of project success. From my experience, the key pillars of this culture are leadership commitment, clear communication, and work-life balance. Leaders must live and breathe the culture they want to build. Their active and visible commitment sets the tone and aligns the entire organization. Equally vital is work-life balance, which drives morale, boosts productivity, and enhances overall engagement. The most successful organizations understand that active sponsorship is not optional. Leaders must be directly involved, form strong coalitions, and maintain transparent, continuous communication. This mindset fosters a culture that drives project success and ensures sustainable, long-term growth. Saving Changes...
